Yes crotchety old men haven't changed much in 1000's of years, biggest thing holding humanity back.

Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

Have any of you actually watched All In the Family?
It was one of the most liberal shows EVER produced for mainstream television.
As "conservative" as the character of Archie Bunker was (and as hated as Carroll O'Connor was for his portrayal of the character) the show dealt with very progressively liberal themes.
The man was one of the most outspoken liberals in the entertainment industry. That changed a bit after his adopted son died of a drug overdose.

I'm mainly a conservative myself.
I believe we should use, protect and defend all of our rights but neither side of the aisle seems to want to do so.

But the conservatives have a poor track record IMO in areas like 1st, 4th and 5th amendment rights.
Just like liberals with their 2nd amendment issues...among others.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a happy medium of those who would stand up for ALL of our rights.
Who says there should be give and take...our rights should not ever be negotiable.
